MODEL: BTG-7000 TYPE: Works ?: Yes Startup Time (avg): 45-60 seconds Personal Rating: 8 Other Comments: Easy to use. Worked right away with bluetooth & 770. Seems to have good battery life. Comes with both wall and car adapter. Documentation stinks, doesn't do a real good job with explaining the flashing LED's, but not to hard to guess what they mean. Battery isn't replaceable through. Great price at newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16858202001 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16858202001R |

Works flawlessly all over, even in the woods if it can see sky. I am elated with the unit; I got the package (with stupid software and cool usb adaptor) for like 70 bucks at Fry's. kinda bugly fugly big but it works great- dcarter |

BRAND: Rikaline
MODEL: GPS-6033 TYPE: SiRF & RFMD WORKS?: Oh yeh! paired in a few seconds and no need for a pairing number. Startup Time (avg): between 20 to 25 seconds Personal Rating: 10 out of 10 Other Comments: The unit came with 2 metal discs with adhesive. It holds onto them very well. Under the battery lid you can see what looks like 2 tiny rare earth magnets. It has a port for a high gain antenna which it seriously doesn't need (this thing even worked inside my house away from a window!). But if you have a lot of trees like we do in Oregon, it might be a help. Personally I am thinking of getting one so I can place the actual unit in my glove box and only expose the antenna to the direct heat and light of the sun. Resync time is under a second, I swear. I went into a medium tunnel and it didn't give up until about 1/4 of the way in and resynced the same distance before I left the tunnel. My unscientific test was that I got 4 days of use before it needed a recharge. I would say I used it 2-3 hours a day. It does come with a car charger. It supports an auto mode where it turns on/off when your car is on/off, if you are using the car adapter At aroud $90 - 100, this is totally worth it. Side to side comparision it fairs way better than my friend's tomtom or the little garmin that looks like a tomtom. |

Type: Sirf II XTrac Works: yes Startup time (avg): 30-60 sec Personal Rating: 10/10 I bought through an eBay auction for 50$, together with its software (unusable both with my 770 and my TH55 :( ). The receiver is fine, tough, good sensibility and good battery life. Immediately paired with the 770 and worked fine apart from the /dev/rfcomm trick which I performed after having experienced the link problems Good! |

MODEL: 737 (2nd generation unit) TYPE: BT GPS Works ?: Perfect Startup Time (avg): 40-60 seconds Personal Rating: 10/10 Other Comments: Very nice. Associates perfectly (just click scan), auto powers off when not in use. Auto powers on when I tell the meamo mapper to connect. It usually gets locks to 6 or 7 sats of 7 or 8 inside my house not particularly near any window, and the window has a big curtain. In the car it works well inside the armrest of my subaru (where I have a power adapter). Comes with a wallwart -> usb and car adapter -> usb. Basically perfect, never had to reset BT. Not bad for $70 ish and 65-70 grams or so. At the moment I have 8 of 9 sats and an average signal strength of, er, I guess it doesn't say. Now I'm at 9 of 10. Usually 10 or 11 of 11 of12 when outside. The tracks I've recorded so far look pretty clean. Claims to last for 20-25 hours of use or somewhere around 10 times that for standby, I've not verified either claim. |

BRAND: Qstarz
MODEL: BT-Q818 TYPE: MTK Bluetooth GPS Works: Excellent Startup Time (avg): ~30 sec cold, 1 sec hot start Personal Rating: 10/10 Other Comments: http://www.qstarz.com/products/bt-q818.aspx Similart to i-Blue 737 with redesigned shell, higher capacity Li-Ion battery (1100 vs. 1000 mAh). Manufacturer claims up to 32 hours navigation per charge, 400 hours standby. Tracking sensitivity -158 dBm, 32 channels, Bluetooth V1.2. After initial pairing, Auto On/Off works like i-Blue for smart power control. Built-in non-slip back. Rock solid tracking (avg. 9 or 10 satellites) from car center console bin or coat pocket, no need for dashboard or other visible mounting. Fine companion for N800 with Maemo Mapper. |

Startup Time (avg): Not slow Personal rating: 6/10 Other Comments: Would be 8/10 except that it's too easy to accidentally turn it on, and it would've been 10/10 with that fixed + a SiRF Star III chipset. The newer TT Mark II should thus cover this.. |
Re: Maemo Mapper : GPS devices that work... or not...
I am wondering if a Cell Phone that has GPS location would work for Maemo Mapper if the SPP bluetooth profile was enabled?
I have a Sprint MOTO RAZR 3Vm and enabled the location (GPS) feature. However, the phone is supposed to have a SPP profile (which is missing). Before I go crazy trying to enable the SPP profile - I want to know if it would work? Thanks |

Only a 9/10 ratings because it neither has the auto-off feature or the sleek look of the newer Qstarz models. According to the manual, the regular USB cable can only be used for charging, and an optional special USB cable can be used for both data transfer and charging (G-mouse!?). http://www.holux.com/product/search....level=grandson |

Have not had to leave on that long but did use for 8 hours straight Works ?: Yes With Nokia N800 and Maemo Mapper installed, had it up and running in seconds. Price: $54.00 US Startup Time (avg): faster than the Nokia. Spec cold 36 sec Warm 33 sec hot 1 sec Accessories Car Cigarette adaper Switching Adapter charger Mini CD with user guide and Computer Drivers and gps software that uses the USB cable as a serial port. Personal Rating: 9/10 Other Comments: Pin 1 and 5 on supplied adapters ground and power for charging only. Using My Nokia USB cable on the Holux plugged into my PC only charges the unit. XP and Vista does not recognize the device. Looks like I need to buy the optional proprietary cable for $27.00 US. This should have been included in the box, instead of as an option. This will make my laptop GPS aware. The supplied software and the accompanying driver makes the USB port a serial port that the software uses to talk to the receiver. I prefer the Bluetooth and the N800. I ride horses in valleys and tall timber, so far I have not had any problems finding satellites. Very happy with product, but I do not have big requirements. |

Re: Maemo Mapper : GPS devices that work... or not...
F-Tech mini solar. It works on everything I've tried it with, everywhere I've tried it. I've also used a Garmin Legend with a bluetooth adapter from PC-Mobile. That works fine too. I tend to use the F-Tech with my Palm and bring out the Garmin/adapter duo for MM, because I don't really depend on either, but both units work with everything I've tried them with.

Re: Maemo Mapper : GPS devices that work... or not...
I guess this is as good a thread as any to report that the internal GPS receiver on the N810 works with Maemo Mapper. I don't find the accuracy to be all that good, but it's better than nothing.
To use the internal GPS receiver with Maemo Mapper, be sure to use the "Bluetooth" option on the GPS tab of the Settings dialog. You must leave the corresponding text field blank. (Leaving the field blank causes Maemo to search for all GPS-enabled devices, both internal and via Bluetooth.) |
